[STB Finance Docket No. 34962]


Youngstown & Southeastern Railway Company--Lease and Operation 
Exemption--Lines of Eastern States Railroad, LLC

    Youngstown & Southeastern Railway Company (Y&S), a noncarrier, has 
filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 CFR 1150.31 to sublease 
from Eastern States Railroad, LLC (ESR) and operate the portion of the 
35.7-mile line between milepost 35.7 in Darlington, PA, and milepost 
0.0 in Youngstown, OH. In addition, Y&S will operate, as ESR's agent 
and in ESR's name, 3 miles of rail line running east of Youngstown, 
which is the subject of permanent assignment to ESR of Central 
Columbiana & Pennsylvania Railway, Inc.'s (CCPR) and Columbiana County 
Port Authority's (CCPA) operating rights that will facilitate the 
interchange of traffic with Norfolk Southern Railway Company and CSX 
Transportation, Inc.
    This transaction is related to two concurrently filed verified 
notices of exemption: STB Finance Docket No. 34934, Eastern States 
Railroad, LLC--Acquisition Exemption--Central Columbiana & Pennsylvania 
Railway, Inc., and Columbiana County Port Authority, wherein ESR seeks 
to acquire the lease and operating rights of approximately 35.7 miles 
of rail line owned by CCPA, and to receive permanent assignment of 
CCPR's and CCPA's operating rights to approximately 3 miles of track 
east of milepost 0.0; and STB Finance Docket No. 34961, Indiana Boxcar 
Corporation--Continuance in Control Exemption--Youngstown & 
Southeastern Railway Company, wherein Indiana Boxcar Corporation seeks 
to continue in control of Y&S upon Y&S's becoming a Class III carrier.
    Y&S certifies that its projected annual revenue as a result of this 
transaction will not exceed $5 million. The transaction was scheduled 
to be consummated on or after November 29, 2006, the effective date of 
the exemption (7 days after the exemption was filed).
    If the notice contains false or misleading information, the 
exemption is void ab initio. Petitions to revoke the exemption under 49 
U.S.C. 10502(d) may be filed at any time. The filing of a petition to 
revoke does not automatically stay the transaction.
    An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to STB 
Finance Docket No. 34962, must be filed with the Surface Transportation 
Board, 1925
